Land of Anaka.......2005-10-07

Unfortunately, I am familiar with only this one tune having heard it on the radio, but it has been my favorite mellow tune for many years... so soothing and "floaty." I look forward to hearing the rest of this man's work.

The David Bowie of African Music!.......2005-06-03

I first saw Geoffrey Oreyema on Peter Gabriels Womad Tour in Atlanta, Georgia in 1995. I was blown away and have bought every album he has made. This disc is a collection of his works based around his return to his homeland and his spiritual journey. Truly amazing music that is in a category all his own. Thats the best way to describe him! If you like world music artists or any of the Real World compilations this is a must have disc. If you don't get this one then get "Exile". My personal favorite.

African Rock Master.......2002-11-09

My meeting with Geoffrey Oreyma music came like a love as first sight. It was a autumn day and I have decided to spend my lunch break in a Tower Records store in Washington, DC. When I got into the store, "Land of Anaka" was playing. I was so fascinated that I asked a store agent what CD was playing. He brought me "The African Odysseus and told me that I cöuld listen to other titles of the album on the listening board. Which I did and immediately purchased the CD. Since then I have not stoped listening to the magical rock brought to us by Oryema and that is so deeply rooted into our African tradition. Thanks Oryema for a wonderful work!

Don't Waste Your Money On This One.......2003-07-19

Because the artist is Geoffrey Oryema, I start with 5 stars. However:

Subract two stars for a recording error on track 17. This was a first, in my hundreds of CDs.

Subtract one star because of the lack of equalization. It ruins the listening experience to have to adjust the volume between tracks. One track can be so very soft, the next disturbingly loud.

Subtract one star for the ridiculous price of this CD, considering the poor quality described above.

For the insert explaining the songs, despite the typographical errors, leave a star. Besides, this rating system won't allow for zero stars.

This is not a comment on the artist, only on the label. I have collected all of his work, even though it is a bit too westernized for my taste. And to note, all of my other Oreyma CDs are on the RealWorld label. They are excellent! So buy the original albums and avoid this compilation.
